djmatrix09[TK] Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 I noticed my Chicago Screws are loosening on my belt. Any tips for keeping them fastened? I'm not sure if permanently fastening with glue is a good idea. Looking for ideas... Thanks! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote

When you say loosening do you mean the screw from the post? If so just put some lock tight on the screw end this should fix your problem and you will still be able to remove them if needed. 1 Quote

68Brick[TK] Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Congratulations Andrew. Now put that baby aside and get on with that Centurion Application! Just kidding. Hug your baby. Quote
djmatrix09[TK] Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 Congratulations Andrew. Now put that baby aside and get on with that Centurion Application! Just kidding. Hug your baby. While baby was catching some Zzz's last night, I trimmed my forearms' return edge. Getting to Centurion will take a bit longer, but my wife is encouraging me to achieve that level of detail. Motivation comes from anywhere, you know. LolSent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
djmatrix09[TK] Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Posted January 17, 2018 Got some great feedback on the ab shims, and got back into my shop to update the left side. Pulling three Rivets was a pain, but I got it figured out. Since I was working the ab plate anyways, I installed the right side snap as well. Here's hoping EIB is in my sights! Cheers!

djmatrix09[TK] Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Posted January 17, 2018 Turned out pretty well. Thanks for the help, everyone. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote
djmatrix09[TK] Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Posted January 17, 2018 I ran out of large clamps to do both side shims, so here's a quick pic of the right side shim curing. Used the same butt join method like the LHS, and all the other major joins. EIB is so close! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote

djmatrix09[TK] Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Posted February 3, 2018 First Troop! At a SC Stingrays Hockey game, with jersey auction/raffle proceeds going to Charleston Habitat for Humanity. What a blast. We got to accompany the ceremonial Puck drop, and walk the mezzanine. Crazy seeing people from work, and the public, and their general reactions to the armor. Loved every minute of it. Aside from a couple of armor bites on the calves, it trooped perfectly. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 4 Quote
